Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna wins the Death Prophet vs Pugna matchup: Pugna beats Death Prophet in 50.22% of 2,511 ranked matches.
Thinking Death Prophet can simply run at the enemy team with Exorcism can be a mistake against Pugna. His Nether Ward punishes every spell she needs to cast, turning her own Spirit Siphon and Silence into sources of self-inflicted damage. This forces her to play much more cautiously. If Death Prophet does commit her ultimate to focus a target, Pugna can use Decrepify on that ally, making them immune to the ghost attacks and buying crucial time for a turn-around. In a direct confrontation, Pugna can often win a duel against her by using Life Drain, creating a situation where he out-sustains her own drain, especially if she's taking damage from his ward.
